Is it always the same users browsing the same shares? sounds like permissions

What are you trying to do on the DC? It sounds like you are getting hung up by too many rdp connections (like everyone else has already said). I don't know how familiar you are with 2003, but there are a lot of options for working on a server without actually being logged on (either physically...

so you're all NTFS, you're going over a LAN. Fast Ethernet? Gb? Your USB drive, is it 2.0 or 3.0? I'd plug the external directly into the box you're trying to back up. That's a huge file and moving it through your network is probably what kills it.

300G is a pretty big file. What are you backing up to? You doing this over a network?

did you put your ts in a ou? or is this a local policy?

You say you have a video and new media background?? I came from a video background and I got into IT out of necessity! Look into your local tv/cable/radio companies for IT help, you might want to drill down to the advertising side because they are always installing new traffic and billing...

It just goes to show what I think everybody secretly knows... we are still in the "wild west" stage of the internet. As for the advertising quandary they talked about, the advertising industry cut their own throats with that one... Memories of supporting users stuck in a hell of pop ups...

Nice! Congratulations Johny

Good! A+ Net+ MCSA MCSE they all build on each other then CCNA

You might consider going for comptia A+ and Network+. They will probably be somewhat remedial, but those certifications together are accepted as an elective for some MS certs. It will also give you some time to do some research and find out where in IT your interests lie.
